He said that he had your number
You cut the telephone line
You say you needed a reason
He said, there ain't much time
You kept trying to avoid it
He kept knocking on the door
In a flash it was over
You were a prisoner of war

But when you lose, you win
That's the way it is
That's when the love comes down
That's when the love comes down

She was playing in traffic and you were scoping her out
She was so much elastic, someone had strung her out
Until the fire had reached her, that's when the lights came on
That's when she got off her habit, that's when you took her on home

But when you lose, you win
That's the way it is
That's when the love comes down
That's when the love comes down

You can beat the heat
He's red hot on your trail
He's the love enforcer and he's paid your bail
It's much more than emotion, It's not just in your head
You gotta die to get life and you'de better off dead

But when you lose, you win
That's the way it is
That's when the love comes down
That's when the love comes down
